Looking to fulfil a training need to get the best for your company and employees? Need to for fill regulatory or company training requirements? Or just want to get those all important qualifications? OnSite training's unique approach to work based learning is here to ensure that you can deliver your organisations training requirements. OnSite's team of respected industry professionals are here to ensure that you can deliver on your organisations training requirements.
The likely lads at Eclipse Colour in Kettering received their certificates for the ILM's Level 2 Leadership and Management Diploma, and promptly signed up for Level 3. Eclipse Colour are one of the UK's largest commercial print, direct mail and cross media providers. OnSite Training UK is delighted to be awarded the Equalities Verification Certificate. This verifies that OnSite embeds good equality practice into our activities as we strive for continuous improvement.
Equality is important to current and prospective employees, suppliers and customers; it is particularly significant to Public Bodies, who are aware that suppliers with proven good equality practices are important to them.
The achievement of the C2E Diversity Assured Equality Standard verifies that our equality practices comply with public sector contractual and statutory duties, which is a benchmark with which all our clients can be satisfied.'
OnSite Training UK had a great start to the New Year, presenting the first ever 'LANTRA Level 3 Certificate in Installation and Maintenance of Green Roofs' to living roof expert Chris Bridgman from Bridgman Landscapes in Milton Keynes.
Chris had demonstrated both his practical and theoretical knowledge to achieve the qualification to an assessor from OnSite Training over a period of months. This included visits to sites that Chris was working on as well as ones that he had completed, rigorous questioning by a living roof consultant.
Margaret McNeil from OnSite said: "Chris saw an accredited qualification had become available and decided to add it to his portfolio of achievements. It can only be gained by someone with a good depth of knowledge as well as lots of practical experience, including managing on site. We think it is testimony to Chris's commitment to quality that he wanted to further prove his competence via an accredited course." The qualification is also available at Level 2 for operatives, and its development was part funded by the EU 'Leonardo' Programme, with OnSite Training and 5 European partners. www.bridgmanlandscapes.co.uk
Grandfathers Rights for Pesticide Users, Changes to RulesA recent exemption in UK law, commonly known as "grandfather rights", allowed anyone born before 31 December 1964, to use plant protection products (PPPs ) authorised for professional use on their own or their employer's land, without having to hold a certificate (of competence) although they should still be suitably trained and competent for their job. The Plant Protection Products (Sustainable Use) Regulations 2012 allowed this exemption to continue until 26 November 2015.
It is now an offence for anyone to purchase or use PPPs authorised for professional use unless they have ensured that the intended end user has a certificate. If you don't already have a certificate, you will need to get one so that you can continue to use PPPs as part of your job.
We are very excited to announce that OnSite Training has been approved to deliver RHS practical qualifications. This is a significant educational status to hold as the RHS is a highly regarded awarding body who have approved both our teaching standards and the practical facilities for learners at Lamport Hall gardens and Warwick University grounds. The practical course perfectly complements our existing RHS principles (theory) course taught at Lamport Hall. Our RHS practical course at Lamport Hall starts in September 2016, Tuesdays 9.30-2.30 Contact us on 01933 234928 to discuss our RHS courses.

I was thrown from a horse several years ago and was in a bad bad way. I knew my back and neck were injured and my family wanted me to go to the ER. I did and they really just gave me pain pills and sent me home. i got so loopy on the pills I didn't feel anything and just wanted to sleep all the time. After awhile the pills just stopped helping and i didn't want to keep taking them as i was afraid i would get hooked or something but most of all they just made me sleepy. I thought maybe i should go to a Chiropractor but didn't know of anyone. My friend Ginger told me about Dr Quackenbush in Anthem. I said really Dr QUACKENBUSH. Well Ginger actually went with me to my appointment I was so afraid of going. Dr Q as they refer to him at the office really put me at ease because of how thorough he was, he asked me about the accident and was particularly interested in what my body went through when i hit the ground. He asked me how things had changed in the 2 years since my accident and what I thought was wrong! he did a lot of tests of my spine and muscles. He scanned my spine and muscles with an electronic device and took a fresh set of x rays. Then he told me he did not know if he could help me or even if he could accept me for care! He wanted to look at the x rays and asked me to come back the next day. When I returned i was relieved that he could help and he explained to me what was wrong with my back and neck. The scans were very helpful in understanding how the injury was affecting my whole being. That was a relief because I thought I was going to have to live with the pain for the rest of my life. I am about half way through my treatment program and haven't felt this good in years!! I would recommend Dr Quackenbush to all my friends and family.

I remember when I had to visit two hospitals this certain night because I had no idea what was going on with me, I had the worst pain you can imagine in the inside of my head it was worse then a migraine just didnt know what it was. The both doctors i saw that night said it was just a spasm on my neck and was just causing a headache, they gave me drug pills to put me to sleep and thats about all, I was told to take these pills for the neek week, I just couldnt take it no more so I decided to listen to my mom and visit a Chiropractor, Thank God I found Pebble Creek Wellness Center just around the corner from my house, Dr. James there just knew what to do for me and I not kidd you, I was able to walk out of there like if nothing was ever wrong with me, I was more then happy I listened and went to the perfect place. If not i would of still been taking those pills, sleeping in thru days and suffering thru the pain...Dr.James is just the Best, and not to mentioned they have a massage therapists who is on the role, and is just the best ever. You definetly need to visit there amazing office...There great and make you feel at home with their kindness and warmth.
I am scared to death of chiropractors. Never on this earth would I go... My doctor said I had "mus-co-skeletal" issues and was giving my muscle relaxers. I was having trouble working, and you really should not be driving on muscle relaxer! I went to a regular chiropractor, finally out of desperation and it was an awful experience. I did not even finish the session, I was so scared! Then I heard about the Activator Method, and still scared, I decided to try it so I could get off the prescription drugs. It was the best thing that could have happened to me. There is no popping or cracking contortions involved. Dr. Petermann made me feel better almost instantly AND he is a real nice guy who cares about me. Also, his price per visit (I have no insurance for this) is lower than other doctors in this area. I am pleased to say that because of this method, I am no longer on drugs and look forward to my maintenance visit that are reasonably priced. I highly recommend Dr. Petermann to anyone who needs chiropractic care. Especially if you have a fear of this type of treatment.

One Percent Spending Reduction ActCuts federal spending 1% each year from 2017 — 2021...balancing the budget in just five years. Allows Congress to make targeted cuts...avoiding an across-the-board sequester. In 2021, the budget is balanced...with room to pay down the $19 trillion debt.
Don't duck the debt again in GOP debateThere have been debates, bluster, TV coverage and more, but you know what's been lacking in this presidential race: a serious discussion of the debt, deficit and government spending. It's been skipped, and the degree to which this issue is not in vogue these days fits with what I have seen since I came back to the U.S. Congress two and a half years ago.
2015 Annual Shareholder's ReviewBefore we get too far into the New Year, I wanted to share with you an update on some of the things we accomplished in 2015. There are many other activities from this year, but click below to find our Annual Shareholder's Report that at least gives you a glimpse of what we have been able to do on your behalf.
Latest News
Last week, the House voted on S. 304, the Conscience Protection Act, a bill that would prevent medical professionals from being forced to provide abortions, if doing so conflicts with their religious beliefs. The bill passed 245 to 182, and I voted yes.
A week ago, the House voted on H.R. 4768, the Separation of Powers Restoration Act. If this bill becomes law, the courts would be able to stop deferring to federal agencies during lawsuits on government regulations. The effect of the bill would be to make it much more difficult for this administration and future ones to enforce far-reaching regulations from agencies like the EPA.
Privacy and the Fourth Amendment still matter. Big time. Accordingly, I write on three votes that occurred in the House on Monday night
Privacy and the Fourth Amendment still matter. Big time. Accordingly, I write on three votes that occurred in the House on Monday night: the Anti-Terrorism Information Sharing is Strength Act (H.R. 5606), the Enhancing Treasury's Anti-Terror Tools Act (H.R. 5607) and finally H.R. 5602, which would expand the Treasury Department's ability to closely examine private financial records.

Learning objectives: After completing this exercise, you will be able to:
1. identify the advantages and disadvantages of narrative documentation
2. describe the benefits of using checkbox/template documentation
3. recognize electronic documentation's strengths and problems
When deciding which type of form to use for nursing documentation, first weigh the inherent positives and negatives of each general type--narrative, template, and electronic.
Above all, documentation forms must be efficient, comprehensive, and reasonable, and must prompt nurses to document appropriately, says William Malm, ND, RN, president of Health Revenue Integrity Services, Inc., in Cleveland. For some documentation do's and don'ts, click here. And for some common mistakes to avoid, click here.
Narrative documentation
A narrative documentation form is essentially blank and the nurse simply writes in all of the pertinent information. These types of forms are based on the SOAP (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, and Planning) template. This is the least effective form because it is completely up to the nurses to decide what they document, Malm says. In addition, this form is not easy or efficient to use, because nurses must write everything out, rather than simply checking boxes next to descriptions of the services provided. "It's very inefficient and leads to a lot of documentation errors," says Malm. However, narrative forms are flexible, especially for documenting complications, new diagnoses, and other unforeseen occurrences.
Checkbox/template documentation
A template form of documentation--which usually combines a string of checkboxes with an area for narrative notes--is a convenient, efficient, and comprehensive approach. Because nurses can simply check boxes as they provide care, these forms also remind staff what they need to document. The addition of a narrative area allows nurses to make extra comments about the care or any unforeseen complications.
"The checkbox method is the most efficient by far, because you can just go down the line and see the whole thing--it's not on separate pages or on a computer," says Malm. "It allows you some more flexibility but still leads the nurses to complete it in the same fashion, thereby ending up with the data that you require."
But even checkbox documentation has limitations when it's paper-based. "[With a] paper chart, I've got medical records, the respiratory therapist, the physician, the physician's assistant, [and] the nurse. All of those people are going to want that medical record at the same time," Malm adds.
Electronic documentation
Despite the fact that many hospitals have not yet made the transition to electronic health records (EHR), Malm says he prefers this means of documentation for several reasons. First, you can customize EHRs to capture whatever information your facility deems necessary.
Although electronic documentation presents flexibility problems (e.g., once set up, electronic documentation templates can be difficult to alter), it promotes the capture of uniform documentation.
Although the cost associated with transitioning to an EHR can be a drawback, it eliminates filing loose paper and retrieving records. Read about the learning curve here. EHRs are optimal for dealing with litigation, audits, and patient care, Malm says. With paper records, medical records and health information management have the burden of maintaining, filing, and retrieving charts as well as tracking the paper records' location when in use. EHRs comply with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996-related requirements and provide appropriate caregivers access to the records, says Malm.
"With the paper method, the physicians have the charts, and you may not have that immediate opportunity to document, so you forget it or don't do it," says Malm. "With an EHR, you just go to a computer screen and view the chart. Everybody has access immediately, which makes the process more efficient and prevents lost documentation, [which is a] key to exceptional clinical care, fundamental reimbursement, and litigation support."

Jake the Philharmonic Dog
Jake the Philharmonic Dog
Walker & Company, Hardcover, 9780802795526, 32pp.
Publication Date: August 22, 2006
Like most dogs, Jake loves playing fetch. Unlike most dogs, Jake loves music even more. He loves to wag his tail to the beat of an ordinary day and "sing" with the birds. When his friend Richie, the principal stagehand at the Philharmonic, brings Jake to work one day, Jake is treated to a lesson in real music. He "woofs " to the tweeting woodwinds and "ruffs " to the deep horns, but when he hears the entire symphony orchestra practice, he knows to be quiet and "listen." And when a crisis develops at that night's performance, Jake steps onstage and steals the show.
Inspired by the real-life mascot of the New York Philharmonic, "Jake the Philharmonic Dog" is a pitch-perfect introduction to the different sounds and instruments of the orchestra.
Marcin Baranski doesn't own a dog yet, but after completing this book, he thinks that one might be the perfect addition to his new garden. Over the past six years, he has a become well-known illustrator for "Cosmopolitan "magazine. Marcin is an illustrator and a painter, and he lives in Krakow, Poland, with his wife and son. This is Marcin's first children's book.
"More Bach than bark! This is a wonderful read for dog lovers, music lovers, and any child who loves a good story. Jake is certain to win Best in Show." --Itzhak Perlman, world-renowned violinist
"This is a sheer delight. The world needs lots of Jakes. It's a must for kids of all ages, and a great introduction to the magical world of the orchestra." --Beverly Sills, American opera singer and international opera star
"I have met Jake backstage at the Philharmonic, and he is a friendly dog with heroic qualities, like Snoopy, Toto, Nana, and Old Yeller, worthy of a book. Life at a great orchestra is much more fun with a good dog nearby."
--Garrison Keillor, author and host of A Prairie Home Companion
"Karen LeFrak has written an enchanting story for children that is also an outstanding introduction to the world of the orchestra." --Lorin Maazel, Music Director of the New York Philharmonic

Just don't do it: Internet makes it hard to lie on resumes
PHOENIX — Pretty little liars need not apply.
"I think lying on your resume is foolish, especially with the Internet" said Valley business owner Dave Riccio. "You don't have to dig deep to find the truth these days."
Riccio describes a situation in which he received an incredible resume…almost. It was well-written, articulate and it caught his attention. After Riccio met the job candidate in person, he did Internet searches to discover all of his work experience had been fabricated.
"If you are looking to hire someone, take the time to do an Internet search," added Riccio. "It's amazing what you'll learn by simply Googling someone's name."
According to a new Harris poll on behalf of CareerBuilder.com, nearly 60 percent of hiring managers said they discovered untruths on resumes. One third reported having seen exaggerated skill sets or accomplishments, post-recession.

All units at the Inchcape Seaside Villas stand for extravaganza in architecture and Caribbean lifestyle at its best. House Sunrise, House Courtyard, the Gatehouse 1 bedroom apartment Tower and our most favorably priced The Studio are more than just a place to stay. Our accommodations let you experience the exotic mix, flavor and coziness of an old Caribbean plantation style property, serving today as beautifully located ocean front holiday homes, on the western end of the white sand beach of Silver Sands with it's crystal clear and turquoise blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. All our units are a fine example of beautifully designed and finished West Indian homes. The houses are framed by natural gardens of tropical plants and trees and its wooden decks and terraces just a few meters from the water's edge, are responsible for breathtaking and unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea. The Inchcape Seaside Villas are a truly wonderful experience.
Windsurfing: The spot to windsurf in Barbados is the area of Silver Sands, where the conditions are challenging yet forgiving and where circumstances are unbelievably convenient - and Inchcape is located right on the edge of Silver Sands beach.
You only rig up once and store your equipment just a few steps from the water. Shower, shade, relaxation area, everything combined right at your house, right on the spot, which is so unique. We have made it possible for you to enjoy this luxury windsurfing experience at our gorgeous vacation home, Inchcape in Silver Sands, on the Caribbean island of Barbados.
Sounds to good to be true?!? May be it does, but this dream will come true for you when you decide to come and stay with the people who discovered Silver Sands as a world class wave windsurfing spot. In 1978 Rosi and Wolfgang, your hosts at Inchcape, were the first people to ever sail at Silver Sands' reef formations.
Kitesurfng: Jim Drake, one of the inventors of windsurfing in the '70s, had already experimented with a wing, shaped like a hangglider, in the early stages of windsurfing... Time has gone by and the wing has become a kite which finally turned out to be an appropriate alternative for accelerating a surfboard using windpower.
Since kitesurfing really started taking off about two years ago, the still relatively small kitesurfing community learned quickly that special circumstances are needed to make kitesurfing a safe and enjoyable experience.
Barbados isn't only blessed with it's unique windsurfing conditions, it also proved to have some of the most ideal kitesurfing beaches possible. There are first of all the beaches around Inchcape, like Silver Sands and Silver Rock, which attract most of the kitesurfers. Brian Talma's Action Shop at Silver Rock is available for kitesufing lessons.
Surfing: When the world was created, Barbados was given an abundance of potential for becoming a surfer's paradise. The island's location far out in the Atlantic Ocean allows waves to travel thousands of kilometers on the bottom of the sea to finally unload all the power they developed during the long journey over Barbados' coral reefs.
As Barbados is a coral island, a coral reef stretches all around Barbados' coastline, providing for unlimited surfing conditions all over. No matter whether a swell approaches the island from a northerly or westerly direction or whether it's moving in from the East or the South, Barbados is guaranteed to have surf somewhere along it's shores at almost any given day of the year.
Also Inchcape is blessed with a surf break right in front of the property:
The shorebreak at Inchcape on the western end of Silver Sands beach is a pitchy shorebreak and can fit all sorts of descriptions, from mushy to super clean, it can be quite powerful or moderate and changes daily
We are the people who discovered Silver Sands for the sport of windsurfing. We were the first windsurfers in Silver Sands and made Silver Sands known as one of the best wave windsurfing spots in the world.
The Inchcape Seaside Villas are situated in a unique location, right on the water at the western end of Silver Sands Beach. Inchcape, as it presents itself today, developed from a plantation style property from 1920 and combines now the charm of the old with all modern amenities. Due to our location and proximity to the water we enjoy the best climate Barbados has to offer.
The houses have constantly been renovated and upgraded and Inchcape is recognized today as a unique and one of the most luxurious properties of such a kind in Barbados. Our beach is a beautiful and almost private beach, and has it all, from calm waters like on a pond to a small shore break at one end of the beach, which makes it the perfect beach paradise which suits a broad range of holiday makers. Silver Sands Beach can be for everybody, from the sport enthusiast to the one who just wants to relax and enjoy the beautiful turquoises waters of this pristine white sand beach.
Our beach, the almost perfect climate due to the gentle breezes of the trades and our proximity to the water, our strategically location, just a few minutes away from the Oistins fish market and shops and restaurants, and still being in pure nature just minutes away from everything one wants to be close to.

General Info
Barbados has excellent 18-hole championship golf courses. Sandy Lane with two Tom Fazio designed courses will rank amongst the finest golf resorts in the world. The elegance and beauty of the course of Royal Westmoreland golf course, one of the best of Robert Trent Jones jr.'s designs, is outstanding and if there is one course to play in Barbados, it's definitely the one of Royal Westmoreland. The Barbados Golf and Country Club at Durants near Oistins and Silver Sands along with the 18-hole signature course at Apes Hill round up the picture of Barbados as a world class quality golf destination and makes the island a serious contender for being the No.1 Golf destination in the Caribbean.

I'm fit, so why are my arteries blocked up?
A recent heart test produced confusing results — I was told my arteries looked normal, but showed signs of disease.
I was advised to take aspirin, cholesterol-lowering medication and a beta-blocker every day for the rest of my life.
I'm a healthy 48-year-old non-smoker, who takes regular exercise and has a good diet.
Why has this happened to me?
Stephen Lyall, by email.
'I'm a healthy 48-year-old non-smoker, who takes regular exercise and has a good diet,' emails Stephen Lyall (file picture)
This must be frightening for you — for despite being told that your test result was normal, you have been advised to take medication for the rest of your life.
Your test would have been carried out as your doctors were worried that one or more of your coronary arteries — which supply the heart with blood — may have become blocked with fatty cholesterol deposits.
This is called atherosclerosis, and causes muscle damage in the heart that can lead to heart disease, and ultimately, a heart attack.
Indeed, coronary heart disease is Britain's biggest killer, and around one in five men and one in seven women die from the condition.
Hence the need to investigate if a person develops any symptoms of heart disease, such as chest pain, palpitations or breathlessness.
The type of test you had is a relatively new technique, called a coronary artery CT angiogram.
This involves injecting a dye into the veins that shows up on a CT scan, and then scanning the heart to see if this dye is blocked or obstructed as it flows through the heart.
The results showed that your arteries are not blocked by fatty deposits — a positive sign.
However, it did reveal that your arteries have started to harden. Calcium deposits have formed in the artery walls, rather like calcium build-up in water pipes.
To contact Dr Scurr with a health query, write to him at Good Health Daily Mail, 2 Derry Street, London W8 5TT or email firstname.lastname@example.com — including contact details.
Dr Scurr cannot enter into personal correspondence.
His replies cannot apply to individual cases and should be taken in a general context. Always consult your own GP with any health worries.
Simply put, calcium is a marker of a diseased artery.
This must seem frustrating for you considering your age and fitness, but family history also plays a role, particularly if you have a male relative who developed the condition under the age of 55, or a female relative who developed it under 65.
The presence of this calcium build-up shows that potentially dangerous fatty deposits have formed throughout the artery, although these are too small to detect at this stage.
Essentially, the body has detected minor damage caused by these fatty deposits and calcium has been dispatched to the artery walls to help strengthen and widen the artery.
This is alarming, but on the principle of a stitch in time saves nine, it does make sense to address this problem at an early stage.
The statin will help to prevent any further build-up of cholesterol deposits, and recent evidence suggests it will even shrink any that are there.
Aspirin will make the blood less sticky, and less likely to form a clot when it reaches a cholesterol deposit, and the beta-blocker can reduce high blood pressure and improve blood flow to the heart.
In conclusion, it is vital to bite the bullet and remain on medication: a great contribution comes from yourself by way of continued exercise and dietary care — and, as you're already in good shape, your health prospects are good.
My partner is a heavy smoker and, despite requests to him to smoke outside, I often come down to a smelly, fume-filled kitchen — disgusting first thing in the morning.
Now that I'm retired I'm finding it hard to live with.
Short of ending the relationship, are there any measures I can take to protect my own health?
Kate, Melksham, Wilts.
Household exposure to second-hand smoke for 25 smoker years, including childhood and adolescence, doubles the risk of lung cancer in the non-smoker
The harm of second-hand smoke has not been known about for as long as we have known about the damage the habit wreaks in the smoker.
Second-hand smoke is a mixture of the smoke given off by the cigarette (or pipe, or cigar), and the smoke that is breathed out from the smoker's lungs.
There is also something called third-hand smoke, which refers to the chemicals that are deposited on to surfaces in the environment — such as your table or kitchen blinds.
The smoke that passive smokers inhale despite their best efforts to avoid it contains nicotine, benzene — which causes leukaemia — and other cancer-causing chemicals called carcinogens, which have been proven to bind to the genetic code in your cells and cause damage.
We now know that household exposure to second-hand smoke for 25 smoker years, including childhood and adolescence, doubles the risk of lung cancer in the non-smoker.

A separate study has shown that if your spouse smokes, you have a 30 per cent increase in the risk of lung cancer.
We now also know that exposure to second-hand smoke in healthy volunteers damages the linings of the coronary arteries supplying blood to the heart muscle, raising the risk of coronary heart disease, too.
As there are no devices able to clean a sufficient volume of air in your home to be effective at reducing the risks, all efforts must be directed at supporting your partner in quitting smoking for the sake of his own health as well as yours.
If he is unwilling or unable, then there must be a policy established that he should smoke outside the home.
This is because allowing smoking in the house, even with restrictions, offers little protection, as neither air filters nor increasing the ventilation is a sufficient control measure.
The smoke also leaves a residue of nicotine and other toxic substances in household dust and on surfaces — and such cancer-causing toxins can be absorbed through the skin or by contact with foods.
Most GP practices offer good support on quitting smoking — which, as any ex-smoker knows, can be quite a mountain to climb — and can also prescribe nicotine replacement products.
Perhaps the publication of this letter will help your partner to be more amenable to change? I hope so.
By the way...
Forget apps, patients need to see a GP
Technology is all the rage in healthcare these days.
No prizes for guessing why, with its promise to make everything faster, easier, more efficient — and cheaper.
Just this week, Health Secretary Andrew Lansley announced that patients will be able to book doctors' appointments and receive test results online.
Other initiatives include encouraging more GPs to direct patients to health-related smartphone apps, with the hope that somehow this will ease the pressure on health services.
One such app, called Patients Know Best, allows patients to access records and permits online consultations.
You can see why technology is popular with the bureaucrats — ultimately it should save money — but I can't help but feel this is wrong.
As I was reading about these technology plans my companion was doing battle with easyJet on the internet, attempting to add one item of luggage for check-in on a forthcoming flight.
She sighed: 'Sometimes I really would like to talk to a human being.'
Now it looks as if medicine is heading in the same direction — faceless and voiceless 'care'.
It's true patients have been using the web for years to gain health information, but to turn that information into useful knowledge about your health requires a face-to-face consultation.
Take the Patients Know Best app — it's good in rural Scotland (although will users be able to get a phone signal?). But even so, it's a compromise.
I am no Luddite afraid of the new: we had a micro-computer network in our practice in 1979, before the word PC was even coined; and early on we gave our patients access by email.
But there's no substitute for a face-to-face meeting in medicine: we call it a consultation.
Anything else is not good enough. Life in healthcare for patients is hard enough: so who wants second best?

I've looked over a few similar questions, but I'm still confused. I'm trying to figure out how to explicitly (not by compiler optimization etc) and C++03-compatible avoid copying of an object when passing it to a specialized template function. Here is my test code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct C
C() { cout << "C()" << endl; }
C(const C&) { cout << "C(C)" << endl; }
~C() { cout << "~C()" << endl; }
template<class T> void f(T) { cout << "f<T>" << endl; }
// This shows two possible ways, I don't need two overloads
// If I do it like (2) the function is not called, only if I do it like (1)
template<> void f(C c) { cout << "f<C>" << endl; } // (1)
template<> void f(const C& c) { cout << "f<C&>" << endl; } // (2)
int main()
C c;
return 0;
(1) accepts the object of type
C, and makes a copy. Here is the output:
So I've tried to specialize with a
const C& parameter (2) to avoid this, but this simply doesn't work (apparently the reason is explained in this question).
Well, I could "pass by pointer", but that's kind of ugly. So is there some trick that would allow to do that somehow nicely?
EDIT: Oh, probably I wasn't clear. I already have a templated function
template<class T> void f(T) {...}
But now I want to specialize this function to accept a const& to another object:
template<> void f(const SpecificObject&) {...}
But it only gets called if I define it as
template<> void f(SpecificObject) {...}
Basically what I want to do with this specialization is to adapt the
SpecificObject to the template interface like
template<> void f(SpecificObject obj){ f(obj.Adapted()); } // call the templated version
EDIT2: Ok, I can force the
const C& specialization to be called this way:
f<const C&>(c);
but is there a way to make it work like this as just
EDIT3: If someone would eventually have similar questions, I finally found this link in another question, and it is helpful: http://www.gotw.ca/publications/mill17.htm

The Faerie Guardian (Creepy Hollow, #1) (edition 2012)
by Rachel Morgan
Work details
The Faerie Guardian by Rachel Morgan
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I got this book to read on audiobook. The audiobook was decently done but not wonderful. The main heroine has a very chirpy voice which doesn't match her character all that well. Additionally a lot of the male voices sounded similar (particularly Nate and Ryn).
I really didn't like the beginning of this book. The story was just too simple and too silly; the beginning is all about Nate following Vi into faerie and getting her into trouble and the chaos that follows when she tries to get him back home. I thought Nate was incredibly unlikable; he came across as selfish and chauvinistic and I truly did not understand what a strong girl like Vi saw in him. I almost stopped listening to this a couple hours in because I just could not stand Nate.
The book got a lot better in the second half when Vi starts to unravel the mystery around Nate's mom and the strange eye tattoo Nate ends up with. Here we get introduced to a lot more of the politics in Faerie and the story gets tons more interesting. Also Nate gets a lot less page space and Ryn gets a lot more (I loved Ryn).
I absolutely loved Ryn's character and really loved the dynamic him and Vi had going on. Ryn comes off as a jerk early on, but as you learn the complicated history between him and Vi things get more and more interesting.
In the second half of the book there is a also a lot more discussion about powerful magic items and a plot to collect them and this was very engaging.
The action scenes are well done and I enjoyed most of the characters (except for Nate). In the end this ended up being a decent book despite the rough start.
Overall an okay read that has a lot of fae magic, romance, and action. I would recommend to those who enjoy paranormal YA reads. The book started rough but got better towards the end. I am unsure if I will continue with the series or not; I'll have to think about it a bit.
I was expecting mediocre juvenile fiction and quickly realized how wrong I was. The characters are very relatable and their world is rich and detailed. It is easy to lose oneself in their adventures. I will certainly be reading the next book in the series.
I really liked this book. I always love a snarky heroine who doesn't use terrible language. (Vi's favorite expletive is "flippin' flip!".) This is one of those books that just ticks every box for me. The world-building is creative and interesting, the characters are awesome and have the most hysterical conversations, the action is intense, the villains are incredibly evil, and the plot is exciting and romantic. I'm excited to see what comes next in the series and am glad I don't have to wait a year to read them. I should always wait until the whole series is out before starting :).
A couple of my favorite quotes from The Faerie Guardian :
"Seelie Court," murmurs Nate. "Sounds familiar. Was it in a computer game?"
"Do I look like someone who plays computer games?"
A grin stretches across Nate's face. "You look like someone who could be in a computer game."
"I angle my head down and peer up at him through my lashes in what I hope is an alluring manner. I have zero experience in this area though, so it's possible I look like a total moron."
"You're not the kind of person to just randomly fall in love. You're way too . . ."
My eyes shoot to his. "Too what?"
"Well, you know, emotionally closed off."
"I will emotionally close off every orifice in your face if you don't shut up about this right now."
Like I said, I do love a clean-mouthed snarky heroine! And I also love it when a books quotes practically write the review for you. Unfortunately, this doesn't get checked out very often in my library, I'll have to start talking it up. I wish the cover of the paperback was the same as the ebook edition that I read because I think it would get checked out more if it was - it was gorgeous!
Areas of concern:
The *d* word is used a handful of times.
There is quite a bit of violence - Guardians against magical creatures and Unseelie against Seelie.
A 6 year old child is in mortal danger.
Absent/dead parents of the main character who lives by herself.
I have received an ebook copy of this book via Xpresso BT review opportunity.
The Faerie Guardian is the first book in Creepy Hollow series. The book starts by introducing Violet Fairdale, who is a Guardian trainee on assignment. From there, a number of rule-breaking has been made that leads to indirectly harming the people she cares about and she cared about.
What I liked about this book is the modernized kind of way approach to fae realm. This book was easy to read. The nature of action accompanied by magical surge and physical attack made the reading so much fun. Though, I really did not fancy Violet and Nate's romance. I was not into insta-love because I could not see how the 'love' actually evolved and blossomed.
On the other hand, right in the start, Ryn and Violet has a very good potential for romantic relationship. Even without revealing their past yet. They really got a very good chemistry, even if all they do when they meet each other is fight. I am actually looking forward what their 'sort of friends' relationship will turn into. They have more sparks than the latter.
I like it to the point of wanting to finish the whole series of this book. I just don't like the 'meh' part when it comes to Nate and Violet. I love to see more of Ryn and Vi. Oh! The cover looks simply faerie nice.
The Faerie Guardian (Creepy Hollow #1) by Rachel Morgan
Violet Fairdale is a seventeen-year-old fairy guardian in training. It is Vi's job to protect humans and innocent Fae from the evil things that hunt them. While on a mission, Nate, a human boy who should not be able to see her kind, followed Vi to faerie. Having broken Guild Law, she is required to return the boy to the mortal realm and spell him to forget. It sounds easy, nope far from it.
Violet is a wonderful heroine. She is a hardworking dedicated student, at the top of her class. I love her strong sprit. Both her parents have died, and she doesn't have many people she can rely on. Despite that she is a good person, with strong values.
I enjoyed the storyline of Violet's once friend, now nemesis, Ryn. They share a thought-provoking past. He keeps you guessing. I am curious where that relationship will go in future books.
I enjoyed the world that Rachel Morgan created. She does an excellent job describing environments in a stimulating manner.
The Faerie Guardian is an action pact thrilling novel. The story is intriguing. It is mysterious, you never know who Vi can trust. I can easily see me getting hooked on this series and look forward to reading, The Faerie Prince (Creepy Hollow, #2).

AbstractNot Available It is clear that only large bulk single crystals of gallium nitride can alleviate the electrical and optical problems that plague present gallium nitride thin films grown on unmatched sapphire substrates. Therefore we propose to produce large bulk single crystals of gallium nitride by starting with perfectly lattice-matched LiGaO2 substrates and utilizing the rapid growth rated affordable by halide vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE). Anticipated growth rates will be 50 to 100 microns per hour. First a thin buffer layer of GaN will be grown by MOCVD on the new LiGaO2 substrates to guard against corrosion by HC1. Our new hybrid MOCVD/HVPE reactor will allow all processing to be performed in on cycle. The oxide substrates will subsequently be removed by wet chemical etching, leaving large area free standing wafers of gallium nitride. Such wafers will be made available commercially by Crystal Photonics Inc for homoepitaxial growth of gallium nitride films. With a conducting substrate, present device contacting problems will be eliminated. Very low defect densities will induce high power densities in blue diode lasers. In Phase I, we shall prepare blue GaN light-emitting diodes on our new wafers to demonstrate their utility. Lasers will be produced during Phase II

[5 7] ABSTRACT Disclosed is a film image projection apparatus convertible for projection of an image onto a remote surface or onto a screen built into the housing of the apparatus. A door for selectively blocking the projection path is coupled to a mirror which is selectively positionable in the projection path to pass the projected image to the remote screen when the door is open or to deflect the projected image to mirrors within the housing to ultimately project the image onto the screen built into the housing when the door is closed.
2 Claims, Drawing Figures 4/1974 Okano 353/71 SHEET Pi-JENTED HAY27 I975 CONVERTIBLE PROJECTOR WITH D ACTUATED MIRROR Y The present invention relates to an image projection apparatus and more particularly to a mechanism associated with the housing and optical path of the apparatus for enabling selective projection of images from film onto either a remote viewing surface or a built-in screen.
Various designs of motion picture and'still projectors, convertible for projection of images onto remote and built-in surfaces are known. However, few of these designs have achieved substantial commercial success since several manual operations were usually required to convert the projector from remote projection to atthe-unit viewing. Further, theseprojectors are generally bulkier, heavier, and more expensive than comparable single purpose units. Attempts to combine the projectors have resulted in compromises with the images on the built-in screen being smaller than desirable and often the remotely projected image being of less brilliance than is desirable.
The present invention provides an arrangement for overcoming the shortcomings of theknown constructions by providing an interconnected door and mirror, selectively postionable for either deflecting the projected image onto the built-in screen or permitting normal projection onto a remote screen. .The apparatus of this preferred embodiment is a motion picture projector having known functions controlled by mechanism built into a housing. In the front side of the housing is arranged a screen onto which an internally reflected image may be projected for viewing by the user and others close to the projector. Adjacent the built-in screen is located an opening aligned with the projection path and through which the projected image may pass to a remote surface. A cover door for the opening is coupled to a mirror displaceable into and out of the projection path in response to the operation of the door respectively to either deflect the projected image to the built-in screen or to pass the image to the remote surface. Thus, a unit is provided which can be converted from built-in to remote operation by positioning the door and re-focusing.
An object of the present invention is to provide a relatively compact projector enabling conversion of the apparatus for projection of an image onto either a remote surface or a built-in screen by adjusting the door of the projector housing.
Further and other objects will be apparent from the description of the accompanying drawings in which like numerals refer to like parts.
In the drawings:
FIG. 1 is apartial plan view of the optical path layout of a projector incorporating the features of this invention, with the projection axis arranged for projection of the image onto the built-in screen;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of a portion of the optical path layout with the projection axis arranged for image projection onto a remote screen, taken along the line 22 of FIG. 3;
FIG. 3 is an elevational view of the optical path layout taken along line 3-3 of FIG. 2; and
FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the image deflecting and door control mechanism.
Referring to the figures, there is shown a projector such as a motion picture projector with a housing housing and to'provide a substantially enclosed and substantially dust proof container for the film handling and optical components of the projector. A projection lamp is positioned internally and rearwardly of the housing. The projection lamp is arranged to illuminate frames of film (not'shown) transported through a (not shown) projection stationl These components'are preferably alignedoptically with the projection lens 24, which is'adjustably positionable for focusing in' a carrier 26 attached to a mechanism support plate 28. The aforementioned optical components are selected to project sufficiently enlarged and brilliant images onto either a viewing screen 30 built into the housing or a remote projection surface 'such as a screen (not shown).
Internally of the housing 10, a pair of fixedly positioned mirrors 34, 36 are arranged to deflect the projected image from the mirror 38 which is displaceable into and out of the projection path 40. When in the projection path, mirror 38 deflects the image at substantially 90 from the path toward mirror 34. This mirror 34 further deflects the image toward the built-in screen 30. These mirrors, preferably front surfaced, are oriented and dimensioned to provide a relatively large projected image on the rear surface of the screen within the confines of a relatively compact housing. The angles at which the mirrors are fixed permit the required enlarging of the projection pathwithout cutting off any portion of the projected image,
The projection path to the remote surface passes through a projection aperture 46 aligned with the projection lens 24 in the front wall 14 of the housing. In this preferred embodiment, and as shown in FIG. 2, the projection aperture is open when a cover door 48 is open. The cover is hinged for pivotal movement from open to closed conditions about an axis 50 defined by hinge pins and pin receivers in the door and the housing. In the open condition, the door is inclined slightly beyond a right angle relative to the plane of the housing front wall 14. The overswing of the door is to clear the expanding optical path of the projected image as required for the projection path generated by the projection lens intended to be used. The closed conditionrof the cover is limited by an internal stop surface 52 forming a portion of the front wall.
To ensure positioning of the cover door 48 in either the open or the closed condition, an over-center spring 54 is connected to a lug 56 extending from an arm 58 fixed to the inner side of the door. The opposite end of the spring 54 is attached to a pin 60 fixed to a mirror support carrier assembly or frame 62 having upper and lower tab portions 66, 68 and an intermediate flat portion 70 against which the mirror 38 is fixed. A pair of aligned axles 76 in the upper and lower tab portions of i the mirror carrier are mounted in support plates 78 of the housing to define an axis about which the mirror carrier is pivoted. By the action of the over-center spring 54, and the connector pin 56 coupling the mirror carrier and the door, the mirror is displaced between a projection path blocking or deflecting position as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, and a projection path open position as shown in FIG. 2, when the door is in closed and open positions respectively. Further, the action of the over-center spring displaces the pivotably adjustable components to the maximum extent of their adjustable positions.
Referring again to FIG. 1, the mirror assembly 62 is seen to include an adjusting mechanism 80. A frame 82, fixed to the mechanism support plate 28 of the projector, carries a bracket 84 through which an adjusting screw 86 is threaded. On one end of the screw is formed an enlarged head 88 while about the opposite end thereof is arranged a coiled spring 90 held thereon by a spring retaining washer 92. Between the arms of the bracket, a mirror assembly adjusting slide 94 is threaded to the adjusting screw 86. Operation of the adjusting screw causes axial movement therealong of the adjusting slide so as to alter the angle of the mirror 38 about axis 76 and relative to the projection axis 40 to enable centering of the image on the built-in screen 30. The spring about the screw end maintains the positioning of the screw and therefore causes the adjusting slide 94 to maintain the adjusted angle of the mirror 38 between displacement to and from its alternate positions.
The foregoing description is illustrative of a preferred embodiment of the housing of a projector which is convertible for projection of the image onto a remote surface, and projection of the image onto a built-in screen. The conversion is accomplished by either opening or closing of a cover door which simultaneously causes displacement of a pivotable mirror to and from an image deflecting position in the optical path. When the door is closed, the adjustable mirror is oriented to deflect the image toward the mirrors within the housing and toward the screen. However, when the door is open, the adjustable mirror is oriented out of the optical path to permit projection of the image onto a remote surface.
What is claimed is: 1. In a film image projection apparatus convertible for projection of an image alternatively onto a remote surface and a built-in screen, the apparatus having projection m'eans substantially enclosed within a housing and defining a projection path, the improvement comprising:
projection path blocking means adjustable about a first axis to open and closed positions, and being positioned substantially in a plane parallel with said built-in screen when in said closed position;
mirror means mounted for pivotable movement about an axis parallel to said blocking means supporting axis;
means coupling said blocking means and said mirror means for simultaneous displacement between projection path closed, image blocking condition and projection path open, image passing condition, said coupling means including:
over-center spring means for positive displacement of said blocking means and said mirror means from a first predetermined position;
adjustable means for orienting said mirror means when said blocking means is in said image path closed position; and
limit means for determining one of said predetermined positions of said blocking means.
2. Apparatus as in claim 1 wherein said coupling means is coupled to said mirror means and said blocking means, and is spaced from said axes about which said mirror means and said blocking means pivot.

Watch Neil Young and Jimmy Fallon Duet as 'Two Neil Youngs on a Tree Stump'
Neil Young paid a visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night, adding another surreal duet to his history with the talk show host.
Neil Young paid a visit to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon last night, adding another surreal duet to his history with the talk show host.
After weeks of speculation, classic rock's biggest event since Woodstock is a go.
Neil Young's new live set does more than reinterpret favorites from across his storied career.
According to producer Butch Vig, Dave Grohl wanted surviving members of Nirvana to jam with Neil Young for 'Sound City' documentary.
A pair of long-unavailable Neil Young movies is headed to home video.
Neil Young has enjoyed one of the most influential careers of any contemporary musician.
Neil Young has confirmed the release date for his new album with Promise of the Real. The Monsanto Years, an album described as "ecologically / environmentally focused," will be out on June 29.
Jimmy Fallon does an excellent Neil Young impression.
Over the last few years, he has performed as Neil on "The Tonight Show" and his former Late Night show. It was only a matter of time when Neil would join Jimmy. That happened last night.
This weekend was a great weekend to catch up on some movies. I was lucky enough to have a free preview weekend for all the major movie channels. I Loaded up the DVR and watched a couple of Rock related Films.
I hear a lot of music through out the day. When I am not here on the air I listen to a wide variety of music. Lately I have developed an interest in the music of Neil Young.
